'Helen' Fish Leather Hoop Earrings

Gold plated hoop studs with fish leather accent. Silver plated is available, as well as a variety of fish leather colors.

Before fish leather became popular the skin of fishes processed by fisheries was considered a mere by-product of the edible fish industry and as a result was often dumped back into the sea with a potential to pollute surrounding waters. This is why fish leather is considered an environmentally friendly, surprisingly strong, and an eco material as less of the fish is wasted and it can start to replace bovine leather usage. None of the fish leather is derived from endangered species.

Mimo (Meaningful Ideas for Meaningful Objects) was created with a purpose to transform discarded fish leather into a meaningful jewelry line that has a unique flare. We believe that statement jewelry can dress one’s personality and add colour to their story.
